Deal watch: Princess Cruises launches sale

In addition to reduced rates, customers who book one of more than 80 Princess sailings during the promotion will receive festive extras to celebrate the christening such as a free bottle of champagne, the line say. On sailings of eight days or more, passengers also will receive free gratuities.

The promotion includes Princess trips in Australia & New Zealand, the South Pacific, Panama Canal, Europe, Hawaii, the Caribbean, Mexico and the California coast.

Examples of voyages included in the sale are a 12-day Greek Isles trip on the Ruby Princess, now starting at $999; a 15-day Hawaii sailing beginning at $1,499; and an 11-day Panama Canal voyage from $1,199.

All prices are per person, based on double occupancy. The promotion runs through 11:59 p.m. PT on June 17, and is available to residents of the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico and Mexico.

The 3,600-passenger Royal Princess will be the first new Princess ship in nearly five years and the first of a new series at the line. The vessel will boast several notable new features including a glass-bottomed SeaWalk over the ocean and an outdoor water and light show. It'll spend its inaugural season offering Grand Mediterranean cruises from Venice and Barcelona before heading to North America.
